Do you mean it opens the pdf in an Inline acrobat reader (with the acrobat plugin) ?

yes, it opens the pdf in an Inline acrobat reader. Problem, that i'm trying to open text files with extension ".pdf". and Inline acrobat reader is crashing. i attached my mimeTypes.rdf file.

You can't override a Plugin with a helper app. You must rename the Acrobat plugin that Mozilla can't find it. Put this in your prefs.js in your profile (while Mozilla is not running) : user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true); and open help/about:plugins and you will see the Acrobat Plugin with the path. Example: Adobe Acrobat File name: C:\Programme\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll Adobe Acrobat Plug-In Version 5.00 for Netscape rename it to nppdf32.dl_ and restart Mozilla. Remove the prefs.js line if Mozilla don't find another acrobat plugin on your system (check with help/about:plugins )

But i have the same problem with OppenOffice files. Mozilla oppen .sxc files as text files, even i set in my preferences, that it should be saved to disk.

er, that's an entirely different problem, and it's probably not mozilla's fault. most likely, the http server sends a content-type of text/plain.
Yes, with openoffice sxc files, it was server problem. lucky, i have access to server cofigurations, but what i should do with servers to which i don't have access? Can be some option to treat file with extension ".sxc" as openoffice file, not as a text file?
duping again for the initial error. you must fix the error or use "save link target as" from the context menu *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 19118 ***
